A panel of three jury commissioners meets once a month to randomly draw a pre-determined number of jurors for a particular week of court by a computerized process.

The commissioners never see the names that are chosen. The Clerk of Court’s office prints the list of names (also called a Venire) and the summons are prepared and mailed to the prospective jurors. A list of jurors that do not respond to the summons is sent to the Greenville Sheriff's Office for them to follow up in person. The jury summons are mailed 20 to 30 days before the jurors are to appear in court.
